Abscisic Acid in Developing Zygotic Embryos of Theobroma cacao.
نویسنده
چکیده
Abscisic acid (ABA) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in developing zygotic embryos of Theobroma cacao. ABA was detected in all embryos tested, with a peak of ABA at levels of 1 to 3 micrograms per gram fresh weight during early maturation. This corresponded to embryos of 10 to 30% dry weight and to early stages of anthocyanin and lipid accumulation.

A new glycosylated dihydrophaseic acid from cacao germs (Theobroma cacao L.).
Cacao beans are composed of cacao nibs and germs. Although numerous chemical and physiological studies on cacao nib compounds have been reported, there is little information on cacao germ compounds. We therefore analyzed an extract from the cacao germ, and found two compounds that were specific to the germ. One of these two compounds was identified as the new glycosylated abscisic acid metaboli...
متن کاملMoniliophthora perniciosa produces hormones and alters endogenous auxin and salicylic acid in infected cocoa leaves.
Moniliophthora perniciosa is the causative agent of witches' broom disease in Theobroma cacao. Exogenously provided abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), jasmonic acid (JA), and salicylic acid (SA) promoted mycelial growth, suggesting the ability of the pathogen to metabolize plant hormones. ABA, IAA, JA, and SA were found endogenously in the mycelium and in the fruiting body of the ...
متن کاملEstablishing references for gene expression analyses by RT-qPCR in Theobroma cacao tissues.
Lack of continuous progress in Theobroma cacao (Malvaceae) breeding, especially associated with seed quality traits, requires more efficient selection methods based on genomic information. Reverse transcript quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has become the method of choice for gene expression analysis, but relative expression analysis requires various reference genes, which must be stable across...

Somatic embryos and rooted plantlets have been regenerated from light-initiated embryogenic callus derived from mature embryos of Picea abies stored seeds. Under a 16 hour photoperiod, mature zygotic embryos were cultured on a modified half-strength Murashige-Skoog medium without NH4NO3 and supplemented with 5 mM glutamine, 4.5 pM N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 10.7 PM naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) ...

Indirect ELISA was used to quantify (+)-abscisic acid (ABA) in developing zygotic embryo and megagametophyte tissues from two loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) mother trees. On a dry weight basis, embryonic and megagametophytic ABA concentrations were highest during early development and decreased steadily to their lowest values at cone ripening. Embryonic ABA concentration was significantly highe...
